Amusement Park 

It's a merry-go-round world
with it's big brass rings
She's a roller coaster romance
as she dips so she sings.

It's the haunted house
and the tunnel of love
the depths of the valley's
and the Heavens above

It's three for a nickel
five for a dime
it's a game of illusion
forget those...

I’m  wondering - how much is enough?
given fact:  this line is but a throng.
One who does not shield his hacking cough
is brushing up against my sarong.

I’m wondering - how much is enough?
One who's followed at my heels so strong
ignoring what really ticks me...

incomplete dystopia

 memories scattered around mixed in with the large oak leaves.

the trees gnarled and twisted having looked after themselves for years.

Timeless, at once, a memory of long ago
Born from Heaven, to Earth, a new life to grow 
First from clay, then ocean spray
And wrapped in God’s own DNA

Miracle of life, perfect pure so innocent and new
Divine dominion, planet Earth, in shades of
Reds, greens but mostly...

I paid a million dollars for entrance into this amusement park and I thought “hey 
this better be worth it”.
A million kisses
A million hugs
A million intense conversations about life and love
The first rides were amazing…I had gotten my money’s worth.
I never wanted to leave
I was...

Time spent wonderment 
Ferociously amusing 
Absorbed all day into surroundings 
Screaming gayly 
Roller coaster up and down 
Up and down
Spider ride round and  round 
Round and  round 
COTTON CANDY HEART ATTACKS...

The rusted Ferris wheel, a skeletal hand,
Points to a sky it can no longer command.
Once, laughter echoed, joy on the breeze,
Now silence reigns, whispered by the trees.

The carousel horses, their paint chipped and worn,
Dream of merry-go-rounds, of days yet unborn.
Once, children squealed, clinging to their...

but a collection of slim syllables which became monolinear
to keep the vocabulary from becoming even skinnier

no matter what is written, experienced or elegantly lied
existence flows toward eternity for change will not be denied

trying not to get lost in depth of individual helplessness
prime numbers and beings...

A forsaken theme park, once a magic place
It’s hay day in the sixties, quaint and pretty 
To go there now you won’t find a friendly face
Strange outcasts on the outskirts of the city
Rumor's fly with grave warnings of fallen grace
Chase you with a smile, sinister...

It’s a scary place out there
You know that too
With people wearing masks everyday
Living a masquerade ball
Ceaselessly
The colors never fading
The ringing always staying
But I stop in my steps
At this crazy amusement park
Taking in all the glory and the grotesque
The neon lights on the teacups
Going round and...

It's sad to say but we're pathetic today; cuz we're 
childishly crying at the crib 
We're screaming, and shouting and drooling at the mouth. 
I swear we all need bibs. 
Tear stained faces contorted and grimly unsorted; that 
mindfully should be hid. 
Aren't shunned in...

I rode the monster at the amusement park
With some trepidation I locked in my seat,
Took deep breaths while starting to embark 
And, thought about lying to others how neat.

A steep climb upward enhanced my anxiety
I rode the monster at the amusement park,
As we crested the...
